Allen signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's 2023 season was spent at Triple-A Jacksonville in the Marlins organization, where he posted an .802 OPS with 23 homers in 91 games. The 30-year-old has seen spot action in the majors over parts of four seasons, collecting a .540 OPS across 127 plate appearances.

The Marlins reassigned Allen to minor-league camp Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen joined the Marlins as a non-roster invitee to spring training and appeared in 12 games, batting .217 with one homer, five RBI and two runs scored over 23 at-bats. The 29-year-old has played in 23 total major-league contests in the last three seasons and seems to be unlikely to make much of an impact with the Marlins in 2023.

Allen signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen appeared in four big-league games early in 2022 for Oakland but spent the rest of the campaign at Triple-A, and he was traded to the Cardinals in August. He had a 287/.365/.472 slash line with seven home runs and 40 RBI in 55 games between the two organizations.

Allen was traded from Oakland to St. Louis on Tuesday in exchange for Carlos Guarate.

EDGE Analysis

Allen owns a career .195/.252/.288 slash line in 57 career major-league games, five of which came this year. He'll likely serve as organizational depth for his new team.

Allen cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was designated for assignment by the A's earlier this week and will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He appeared in five big-league games this season and went 1-for-14 with a walk, a run and nine strikeouts.

Allen was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent time on the COVID-19 injured list in mid-April, but he saw sporadic playing time when healthy. Over five games, the 28-year-old went just 1-for-14 with a run, a walk and nine strikeouts. He'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster, and Christian Bethancourt is in line to serve as the No. 2 catcher while Stephen Vogt (knee) is on the IL.

Allen (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent just under a week away from the team, but he'll be available off the bench in Thursday's series finale against Baltimore. The 28-year-old has appeared in two games this year and has gone 1-for-6 with a run, a walk and four strikeouts.

Allen was placed on the COVID-19 injured list for an undisclosed reason Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen appears to be unvaccinated since he was placed on the restricted list prior to the Athletics' weekend series in Toronto. While it's not clear whether he's tested positive for COVID-19, he'll be forced to spend some time away from the team to begin the club's home series against the Orioles.

Allen (undisclosed) was placed on the restricted list ahead of Friday's series opener at Toronto, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Allen is unvaccinated and unable to travel to Canada, so he, along with relievers A.J. Puk and Kirby Snead, will move to the restricted list for this weekend. Christian Bethancourt was added to the major-league roster for catching depth in Toronto behind Sean Murphy and Stephen Vogt.

Allen will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's game against the Rays, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Top backstop Sean Murphy is getting a day off behind the plate and is serving as Oakland's designated hitter in the series finale, allowing Allen to pick up his second start of the season at catcher. In his lone prior appearance in Sunday's win over the Phillies, Allen went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run.
